Day 11: A WIP

This is the yellow doily I've mentioned a couple times before. It's the "Double Pineapple Doily" from American Thread Company. The pattern's from 1952 and available for free online. It's written a little differently from modern doily patterns, but it doesn't take long to get into the groove of it.

Yellow is not one of my very favorite colors, usually-- and I think the thread looks more lemony and less golden yellow "in person", too, which puts it further down the scale in my favor (g)-- but for some reason I decided I wanted to make a yellow doily, so here it is, in progress.

Welcome!

I'm Michael (frequently found online as "MossyOwls"), and this is where I keep track of my crafty interests. I love to crochet, enjoy the occasional small knitting project, and am beginning to play around with (simple) machine quilting and watercolor painting. (No telling what could come next!)

Before I became obsessed with crocheting, I used to blog about another crafting passion-- polymer clay. (Might pick it up again, one of these days...)
